High-flying horses and low-flying terriers join forces for a great day of family fun in the country

Begin a new Mother’s Day tradition - treat her to an afternoon of horse racing at the Willowdale Steeplechase! Something fun will be in store for every member of the family: six thrilling rides, an old-fashioned carriage parade and the Jack Russell terrier races.
While you are tailgating, let the Environmental Compliance Services Kids’ Alley Tent delight your children with ecological experiments, crafts, games and storytelling. Reserve a private parking space, spread a blanket on the hill or entertain clients in a spacious tent. Relax with friends with a ready-to-serve feast prepared especially by gourmet chefs.

“In this series I’ve tried to capture some of the feeling of flight. Swallows were not selected just because they are wonderful fliers, but because they possess pure qualities of determination and purpose simply not present in people,” says Claude Rie, of his collection of black and white photographs.
